| 总结: | The Harry Cyril Read Papers contain correspondence, subject files, manuscripts, research material, printed material, and photographs largely documenting his writing efforts and his positions with labor organizations. The bulk of the professional correspondence and subject files in Series 1 spans from Read's position as editor of the Michigan CIO News in the early 1940s to his work with the AFL-CIO a few years before his death in 1957. Important subjects include communism, race relations, international affairs, and Catholic organizations, such as the National Catholic Welfare Conference. There are also many files with correspondence from and about significant figures in the labor movement and the Catholic Church, with an emphasis on the United States. Significant labor figures in this series include James B. Carey, whom Read worked for at the CIO, and Phillip Murray, president of the CIO during much of Read's time there. One folder contains correspondence with Catholic Clergy, such as Mgsr. George Higgins. Of particular interest is the large amount of material on the Mary-Carter Roberts case, a lawsuit over an alleged unjust job termination that involved the CIO. This series also includes the appointment books of Harry Read during his time in the CIO and AFL-CIO. |
